David I Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi All, I;ve not seen anything about M16 half tracks in British service. I have heard of M14s converted to ACPs etc, but the M16 at Eden Camp is/was in 11th Armoured Div colours. I have seen another down south (possibly at an IMPS event)in a video, and the artwork on the Matchbox/Revell Comet kit illustrates one. So were they actually used? I thought that anti aircraft tanks disappeaed after D Day, and thought that LAA batteries had Bofers guns. Any thoughts? Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 LAA batteries had Bofers guns. My uncle, a quiet, unassuming man, took to the grave the secret that his war involved driving his Bofors tractor up three D-Day invasion beaches in Sicily, Italy and Normandy. He was in 25 LAA Regt.
